"I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. And because I cannot do everything I will refuse to do the something that I can do"

Helen Keller



Why is it that all the inspiring quotes are found in the past? Why cant people be what we used to? Back before all these electronics, people would think...... Back before..... When people pretended...... Back when people thought...... Back when people created.


Hehe I guess the main reason for this is inspiration from Fahrenheit 451. Its a really good book, and apparently was banned in other districts. Its stupid really. The book shows what CAN happen. What we shouldn't LET happen. It talks of a future where everyone is all over electronics, and Books are destroyed if found. Where Philosophical thinking is illegal. Where people are happy, but at a price. Where people are destroyed for being different. Where people know others, but at the same time, dont know them.

I find it really interesting...... Others in my class dont. I dont know what it is, but something draws me to this book...... I mean, what if its really going to turn out like that? Not to the point where people are killed almost everyday because of being "Fun and Happy", but to the point where books are rendered useless and thrown out. Books are a way for the writer to reach into a person, and make them think. Its a way to show people that you dont just look and see facts. That in facts, you see lies. In lies, you see truth. In truth, you see yourself. Books are whats needed, Books are whats going to shape the future.

A discussion today popped up. And a question was asked.

"Whats more important, Writers and Authors, or Scientists and Engineers?"

Most kids answered Scientists and Engineers. When asked why, they said that it was important for technology to develop so life would be better. I was the only one in my class who answered otherwise. My answer was simple. People write. People write about the future, and they dream up these crazy contraptions. Authors and Writers of the past must have at sometime written about a Horseless Carriage or our modern day car. They wrote it up first. The scientists and Engineers got it next. Then they though, 'This looks like a good idea!' Then they built. Then they made. Then they advanced off of what was given. All the stuff we have now, the television, the phones, the cars, the planes, everything, was most likely, at one point, in somebodies story way back when people would sit on porches and talk.

Back when..... A time of though processes and actual conversations...... Back when people wouldn't be as rude..... A time when Chivalry actually EXISTED. There are people who exploit it today, but not to the extent of which it used to be.

I sometimes wonder, about the future generation.... About my generation..... Whats it going to be like? They say ignorance is bliss, but some people are too ignorant with all the "Modern Technology" today. I look around school and see kids pull out their Android phones and then their iPhone 4s's that they got their parents to buy them 10 seconds after it came out. I see kids with iPads and iPad 2's. I dont suspect anything amazing will happen. I look at my class, and I see nothing. I see the kids who are smart, but they dont try. I see the kids who are in the bottom percentage, they also dont try. Then theres the few people I know, who will become somebody. Theres this girl in my first period. She is an amazing story writer. She is the best writer in the freshman class, and I have no problems seeing her become a famous author one day. Its no so much that she has imagination, its that she pulls from her personal experiences and she lays them out and says to herself "I can use this for a story, so im going to."

We had a writing prompt. It was "Write a story or narrative about the inner hero in everyone"

She wrote about her family and how they fell apart after her mother died from cancer. She wrote about how she had to pick up the broken pieces and search for the needle in the dark. About how she had to organize the pieces, and with the last strip of thread, sew them back together. By the end of her story, in every class that heard it, there was tears. She displayed it so vividly, so realistically....... Like it all happened in front of us, like we stood by and watched as she did this..... It was very emotional, and she got a very well deserved High 4 on it.

Then theres my friends. One has a passion for music, and could easily join an orchestra. One has a talent with math, and she could become a mathematician. Another with a passion for aerodynamics. Science with her, Microbiology with him......... We all have big dreams, and we stick together. The school had a process in which we disconnect from our closest friends to find new ones. Not the case with us. While most other people lost touch with the other kids from middle school, we stuck together. We still sit together at lunch, and laugh at the things that are funny, and cry at the things that are sad.

I appeared to ramble off subject, so Im going to head back that way now, hopefully at least.


What I mean to say is HOW is this going to turn out? The kdis from the middle school down are rude and mean and cruel. I had gotten on the bus last, which I loathe and hope never happens again. I attempted to sit in the back, but no, apparently everyone there is just........ Gah...... Very disrespectful of others to say the minimal. I then was forced to sit up front, with the smaller kids. Apparently it takes so much fucking effort to move your bags and put them in your lap so the one and only person forced to stand can sit in the apparent "crap seat". ITs also apparently hilarious to the other kids who find it funny that you just got "told" by a 6th grader....................

If thats just the small kids this year, what the hell is going to happen in the near future? I very honestly doubt the world will end in 2012. We "survived" not only 2000, but 2006/6/6 as well. Its not going to happen, especially over the course of one day. People freak out. People worry. Thats what people do. So whats going to happen this December? Is the world really going to be destroyed, or are we just going to destroy ourselves?

I dont know, but the only fact for certain is that I went off topic again XD


Eh, thats all for now I guess. Probably going to post some poetry (I still write it! XD) tonight if I finish it. I guess you could call it more of a song cause It came to mind when I was messing around with different rhythms in my head.
